Cherry's 20 Point Program For Progress 1. Pay General Fund debts and earmark $5,000,000 of the surplus to meet postwar emergencies. 2. Expand the public school program through better fir.anr-.al support, $125 beginning salary for teachers and increments for others. Elimination of illiteracy; postwar building fund: extension of free textbooks through eighth grade and other measures discussed in campaign speeches. 3. Absorb the loss in higher educational institutional revenue due to students being in armed services. 4. Educational facilities must be provided for war veterans in case the Federal Government dees not make adequate provision for their education. 5. Increase in retirement benefits for teachers and State employees. 6. Extension and increase of War bonus from January 1, 1945 for teachers and other State employees. "The State should be a Just and humanitarian employer." 7. Increase In Public welfare assistance including aid for dependant children, and old age benefits. "We cannot build a great state or lift the average of all the people unless we assist most those less fortunate." 8. Juvenile delinquency must have public as we!', as private assistance. "The State's resources should be marshalled for this fight in cooperation with the homes, churches, and the schools." 9. The Public health program must be expe.-cled. The general plan for adequate medical and hospital cure and the establishment of a four-year medical course in connection with the University is approved. 10. An adequate health program for children which the State must provide can be had without socialized medicine; remedying physical defects in childhood will prevent institutional care in old age. 11. Postwar needs will require further development of our natural resources: encouragement of new industries to oblige the products of our forest, mir.es and streams: develop our inland game and fish; to adequately protect commercial fishing. 12. Increased support of ell agencies working with the farmers. Better seed, better livestock, and better marketing facilities will increase the income ot this large group. Main money crops must have the backing of the Governor's office to maintain highest prices lor these crops. THE DANBtny ICPORIIX, D AMMJKY, NOBTII CAROLINA, MAY 11. 1944. son; Mr. and Mrs. Walter R.

CHERRY SAYS- "As a candidate for the high Gffi'.'o cf Governor of North Carolina. I feel it my duty to lay before the people my ideas on public questions with which the next Governor will have to deal. I am offering the people of this State a program for the continued progress of this great State. Since I will be the next Governor of North Carolina, I will have to live by these promises and this platform. For that reason I have been careful not to make promises which the financial condition of the State and the taxpaying ability of our citizenship will make it impossible for me to keep. "More could be promised, both as to tax reduction and increased expenditures. Promises that are not backed by mature consideration of the facts involved mislead the people. For that reason, and subject to the provisions of the platform of the Democratic Party at its next convention, I suggest herewith a program for progress which I feel to be within the ability of the people to accomplish.'

Gregg Cherry is no exception to the long: list of outstanding states nun "who have proposed, and then carried out. Wic progressive policies that have made this a great State. Presented he low are ,'x,-cvpt •• from his 20-point program. This legis'ation will affect '. v' citizen and his home. These policies as outlined by Cherry in this program, as-sure our people a continuation of the progressive type of government that North Carolina has always had. 13. Rural electrification and the extension of telephone service to rural districts mast be provided. 14. Every dollar of surplus in our highway fund is covered b" at least $2 worth of highway needs. Whatever sums are required to put roads in usable condition and to finance needed new construction must be made available and lateral roads must be improved. 15. The highway system should maintain city streets over which state highways are operated. 16. Auditing facilities of the State should be increased in order to provide adequate and exhaustive audits of the expanding program of State expenditures. 17. Labor's record in peacetime and especially in war production In North Carolina is a source of pride to the State. Labor should be ade quately represented on all State commissions dealing with problems that affect labor in any way. 18. Postwar construction should be so devised that the public building activity will be carried on when It will be most helpful in providing em ployment and maintaining purchasing power. Approval is given the State plannng board in studying plans for reconversion from a war time basis to peacetime program for progress. 19. Benefits to war veterans should include: (a) Opportunity for veterans to resume their education where they left off when they Joined the services. (b> Providing facilities for veterans to learn a trade or a business which will prepare them for livelihood when the war ends. tc> Postwar construction program to aid and assist veterans in getting Jobs. d> Trained assistants who will worK with veterans to see that tech nicalities and red tape do not deprive them of benefits to which they are justly entitled and lor which provision is made by the Federal Govern ment. 20. Taxes ought to be -reduced. "The State should not collect more revenues than are needed to provide a stable, prudent, and progressive government." It will be eight months before the legislature meets. In these rapidly changing war times no one can predict with certainty what we may expect We mast not jeopardize full support of schools and social services by authorizing tax reductions which may bring financial im poverishment of these activities or necessitate a return to land taxation. If business continues at the present approximate levels, the next General Assembly should adopt all possible tax reduction." Mrs. Hunter E.
